The Ghost of My Past
The scars,
they run so deep.
I cry out in my sleep,
because I'm still seeing demons,
they haunt me in the night,
they're the reason why I have to
fight to stay in the light.
The ghost of my past,
it keeps me running fast,
so I don't have to see
all of the painful memories.
The ghost of my past,
tell me will this be the last
confession that I make to you?
I don't have much to lose except
the ghost of my past.
It's hard to trust people when
they never listened to me then,
and when I trusted them,
they used every word I said
against me.
An echo of their cold voices
still lingers in my head.
I just wish they would
go away.
The ghost of my past,
it keeps me running fast,
so I don't have to see
all of the painful memories.
The ghost of my past,
tell me will this be the last
confession that I make to you?
I don't have much to lose except
the ghost of my past.
And I'm still seeing demons,
they haunt me in the night,
they laugh while I cry,
and then they say goodbye.
But they come back
with a ghost.
The ghost of my past,
it keeps me running fast,
so I don't have to see
all of the painful memories.
The ghost of my past,
he tells me that this will be the last
confession that I make to you.
I have nothing left to lose.
I am now
a ghost of my past.
